Iran’s Revolutionary National Guard claimed to the media that a crack “commando” unit recently snuck up behind an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf and, well, tagged it. They drew the kick-ass logo of the Iranian Revolutionary National Guard, which has a gun and a fist and some kind of AT&T globe.
Shushkari warned the United States that if a confrontation arises, all American forces in the gulf as well as targets inside the U.S. itself would be targets for attack.
See? If they can stencil a logo onto a boat, what’s to stop them from releasing a dirty bomb in a major US city? Or driving around smashing our mailboxes?
An operative stationed with the military in the middle east tells us that US forces are taking this threat very seriously — preparing anti-toilet paper defenses, hiding the magic markers, and keeping a constant watch for “kick me” signs on the backs of officers.

BORF gets around, doesn't he?
Apparently, the group also scrawled a hurried, but still readable, "DISCO DAN" on the ship.
Yeah. Ha ha.
In another unsettling development, the White House has received new intelligence suggesting that Andre the Giant has a posse.
"We will greet you as liberators...with a brick!"
The Pentagon has just announced the deployment of an elite Street Wars unit to Tehran.

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where we had them. They laughed at and and made jokes but Shushkari proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic.
And a spray paint can...
Yeah, but the bastards misspelled "Death to America". So there.
Next for the Revolutionary Guards: Operation Petitcoat.
The real question here is: did they properly use the locative?
Is that my imagination, or does their logo look like a swastika? Zeig Abaminadabelldooyuh (Oh, I give up remembering his dumb-fuck name!)
The Iranians are just trying to get hired by the Navy to do painting and maintainance work. Outsourcing, like Mexicans picking strawberries in California, or is Rove junior available to paint those freaking carriers?
Oh God, it's even worse than we thought. And yes, I am allowed to rip off my own jokes.
Does anyone else notice a distinct reference to Hunter S. Thompson in the logo?
The report says "engraved..." which either casts doubt on the story or proves that our sailors are really, really high.
I mean, I can kind of see a submarine, popping up, laying down a quick tag, and then doing the Farsi equivalent of "dive, dive, dive" before anyone caught them.
However, them running a freaking engraver on the side of a metal ship, without anyone hearing it... ?
Lends new meaning to "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over."
